"Give me custody of these prisoners and wait until our war is over before making a decision. Don't harm them."
After thinking for a moment, Long Aotian made his decision. He did not want the soldiers to abuse these prisoners, nor did he want to see them suffer any more casualties. After all, rabbits bite people when they are anxious. If they are forced to become anxious,
If they rebelled, it would be a very troublesome thing, and they wouldn't have much energy to deal with these things.
As for why they have to wait until the end of the war to deal with them, this is also an easy thing to understand. After all, they don't have much time to deal with these problems now, and more than 20,000 people are not a small number. If they are let go like this
Long Aotian was still worried that they would cause trouble for him.
At this time, the sky had already revealed the light of dawn. Unknowingly, they had been busy for another night. Now that Yunlan City had been taken, they had officially entered the territory of the Maqilan Kingdom and started their journey.
In the last battle, everything is difficult at the beginning. After passing the first level, Long Aotian believed that as long as he handled it properly, the rest of the battle would be much easier, at least it wouldn't be as troublesome as it is now.
Seeing the enemy soldiers being escorted into the city one after another, Long Aotian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now all they have to do is wait, wait for the arrival of their backup troops, and then they can continue towards the next step.
The station set off. According to estimates, he believed that the first batch of his backup troops should arrive this afternoon.
"Link, have you captured any enemy commanders or important figures?"
Long Aotian, who was just about to go to the City Lord's Mansion to see if Grete and the others had packed up, saw Link heading towards him just as he took his first step.
"Yes, according to our understanding we have captured the city lord of this town and the strategist of their army. The rest of the officers are already dead and are basically under our control."
He came here to report this matter to Long Aotian. Since Long Aotian asked first, it saved him a lot of effort.
"Oh, bring them to my side. I have something to ask." Long Aotian said after pondering for a moment.
After receiving Long Aotian's order, and with Link's benefit, a moment later, soldiers from the Xuanwu Legion outside the city escorted in several enemies who looked embarrassed at the moment. After a closer look, Long Aotian knew this immediately.
They should be those guys that Link mentioned. The leader is a fat guy with big ears and a fleshy face. At this moment, his face looks pale and there seems to be no blood. He is followed closely.
The one in front of him is an old man. At a glance, he knows that he is a key mission in the city, but he seems to be in a trance at the moment, and the whole person looks like a lack of energy. As for the several people behind him, their clothes are in tatters.
Long Aotian could tell that these people were the enemy's officers.
"Long Aotian, I fought with you, our army is finished, haha??? Forty thousand people, they are all finished, completely destroyed by your flood!"
The old man who had just arrived in front of Long Aotian suddenly burst out with a blazing light and rushed towards Long Aotian. At this time, he looked like a lion that had been going crazy with hunger.
But unfortunately, he was intercepted by the Guards soldiers before he could reach Long Aotian.
"I know you are very unwilling, but you should know that fighting involves death and life. If there is no life and death, is it still called fighting? Your failure now is just a result. Don't worry, since you have no fighting ability, neither am I.
That kind of bloodthirsty person will not harm your lives. You can rest assured of this!"
Long Aotian said calmly without arguing with the old man. I don't know why Long Aotian didn't know what to say when he saw these people.
"Long Aotian? Hahaha?????? I didn't expect that we still lost to you! I have to admit that your method is indeed ruthless. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. We accept it!"
After hearing Long Aotian's words, the fat guy with big ears and a sinister face behind him laughed at himself and said that after the battle failed, he knew that everything was over and he no longer had any hope.
"Are you the city lord of this city? Haha, don't worry, we didn't occupy your city lord's mansion, and we didn't embarrass your wife. She continues to live in the city lord's mansion, and we didn't target the rest of the people in the city. Just you guys
First of all, please forgive me temporarily and we will take care of you for a while. The battle will be over soon and you will be free by then."
After smiling slightly, Long Aotian said lightly, he didn't know what to say the rest.
However, perhaps he did not expect that these unsavory words would play a major role. The families of these officers were all in the city. In fact, what they were most worried about was their own families. Since Long Aotian gave a correct answer,
They believed the answer. At this moment, there seemed to be a bright light in everyone's eyes.
Waving his hand, Long Aotian signaled that these people should be taken down and guarded, and then he called Link and said: "These people will be detained separately for me, don't treat them badly, and provide better food for each meal. By the way.
, and also inform the woman in the city lord's palace, tell her the situation, so that she doesn't have to worry. Well, it doesn't matter that you don't know that woman, just tell Grete and let him talk."
Long Aotian naturally had his own purpose in doing this. In his opinion, he might still be able to use these people in the future. Especially after the news spread, Long Aotian believed that the woman would do something beneficial to him.
When it comes to things, especially those guys with different intentions in the city, they also have to think carefully when doing things.
After finishing the matter here, Long Aotian came to the city lord's mansion. At this moment, everything in the west half of the mansion was ready under Grete's organization. Looking at the spacious place, Long Aotian couldn't help but sigh.
This is indeed a good place.
???????"What was the result of yesterday's battle?"
Long Aotian, an officer sitting on the seat looking at the entire team below, asked calmly.
It was already morning. At this time, everything after the battle had been dealt with through their efforts. At this time, everyone was sitting in the hall of the city lord's palace, and a meeting was being held.
"Yesterday's battle went very smoothly. We suffered less than 200 casualties. This casualty figure is far less than we expected! Also, the scene has been cleaned up after the battle, and we have also received money from those guys in the city."
After a while, Link stood up and answered.
"Aotian, why don't we kill them all? Instead, let them help us manage this town?"
At this time, Truchi asked Long Aotian with a puzzled look. In his opinion, these people staying here are always a curse and it would be better to eradicate them.
Long Aotian didn't feel any surprise that Truchi would ask such a question, because he knew that this question must be focused on everyone's mind now.
After smiling slightly, Long Aotian said: "I am actually doing this to manage this town well. After all, you also know that General Xinzina and others have already had such a rebellion among the residents in the city. We
If they can't afford such a change, if they let these people in their own city manage them, it will have two effects!"
After scanning a circle of people, Long Aotian continued: "First of all, doing this will stabilize the hearts of the residents in the city and let them know that we are not the kind of people who kill innocent people indiscriminately, so that they can live their lives with peace of mind.
Life before, and secondly, these people are more familiar with things in the city than we are, and they can get on the road faster than us, but we don’t have much time."
"Then what should we do if they have ulterior motives?"
Just as Long Aotian finished speaking, Bird asked worriedly.
"You don't need to worry about this. You must know that we control the military power now. They don't have the guts to go against us, at least they don't have the ability in a short time. Besides, they don't dare to either."
Long Aotian has thought carefully about this issue, and he is not worried that something like this will happen.
"Link, please distribute the things we collected to the residents at noon. The requirements of these civilians are actually very simple. They only need to be able to live a stable life without being harmed or exploited by those in power.
, plus if we give them a little benefit, we can completely buy them off. As for other things, after our battle is over, the personnel here will definitely undergo large-scale adjustments. I think you should understand this matter.
Understood? So we don’t have to worry about this.”
In fact, Long Aotian still has one trump card that he has not used, and that is the woman who lives in the east. He believes that that woman is definitely not an ordinary person. As long as he keeps an eye on her, everything will be easier.
"Okay, then we can only keep the military power firmly in our own hands, and we won't be afraid of anything happening to them then!"
Seeing that Long Aotian had made a decision, everyone had no choice but to accept this fact.
"Link, your mission at noon is what I just said. Truchi, you are responsible for taking the soldiers outside the city and stationing them inside the city. It is not the same thing. You can rest for an afternoon. Maybe our reinforcements will be there in the evening.
Here we are, even if we have to start taking action again, let everyone have a good rest."
Thinking of this, Long Aotian sighed helplessly, there was really not much time left for them.
